Deep Roots

I live near a rain forest,and in the rain forest live 2 magnificent old fig trees.

They are so big and so beautiful,one of them has tunnels through its roots,its great big buttress roots,that my youngest son loves to play in.

These amazing buttress roots form walls of a fort,dams to hold back the invisible tide of imagination,and offer a wonderful natural balancing beam.

They also go down deep,deep into the earth,on the banks of the mighty mighty river.

They have held on through so many years,so many floods,over hundreds of yearsthey could tell you a story if you came and listened.

I love my river and the fig treesand they inspired me to create one of my very own.

This Fig tree is a special tree,it has messages in its leaves,and wide spreading branches to bear special fruit.

I made it with paper mache over a wire frameand used my favorite baby wipes and more wire to make the leaves.

This is Sapphire, he is a wild rainbow lorikeet,they are a local rain forest species,and he knows my fig tree is special.Sapphire is in love with our pet lorikeetEmerald, and they had babies last year,it seems he is back to spend more time with our Emand he is quite comfortablecoming in to our home,and getting into my art supplies !!!!!and perching in my fig tree.
